Why do new mothers not have enough milk?

　　On a parenting forum on a certain website, statistics were collected on 120 new mothers. 18 were all fed with milk powder, 56 new mothers had enough milk, and the other 46 were fed a mixed feeding method of "breast milk + milk powder". New mothers who use mixed feeding are willing to feed their children themselves, but "insufficient milk" has always troubled them.

　　Why do so many new mothers not produce enough milk? Is it really like some media The article said that modern young mothers have insufficient milk due to psychological pressure, incorrect wearing of bras or excessive rejection of fat leading to malnutrition? Dai Yaohua, director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Child Health, and Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Wang Lixin, director of the Nursing Department, said: There is no problem of insufficient milk, the key is to adopt the correct feeding method.

　　A new mother said: “After giving birth to a baby in the hospital, I had to drink breast milk for several days. But once I got home, my milk supply was not enough within two days. ”The reason why this new mother thought her milk supply was not enough was because it took more than an hour for her child to nurse every time. After falling asleep, she would wake up soon and have to nurse again. According to some parenting books, newborns should feed every three hours. Based on this calculation, the child's feeding interval was very short and the time for each feeding was still very long. There must be insufficient milk, so she had to add milk powder to the child and start mixed feeding. It’s all caused by worries. New mothers are always worried that their children won’t have enough to eat. In fact, this is the main reason why many of them have “insufficient milk”.
